If the name Chelsea FC wasn't protected by Chelsea Pitch Owners it would be tempting to change it. How does Chelsea and Hove Albion sound?
It doesn't really make sense, Hammersmith and Fulham Albion doesn't work, yet there is a big connection between Chelsea and Brighton now. It's not just Graham Potter and his backroom staff, it's not just the transfer interest in the Seagulls' star players, Todd Boehly is fascinated and driven to replicate the success on the south coast.
Maybe seagulls will now start flying around west London. Paul Winstanley's arrival makes it six members of staff that have made the short journey from Sussex to the capital (or the Surrey-based training centre). Add in Marc Cucurella and that becomes seven. Billy Gilmour and Levi Colwill are both honing their trade in blue and white stripes now as well. Tariq Lamptey was a trendsetter two years ago when he made the move.
